We all know that Motocross is a risky sport, and injuries are an inevitable part of a rider’s career. This week, the Honda Motoblouz SR Motul team suffered an incredible setback, with injuries from both Kevin Horgmo and Alberto Forato. Quentin Marc Prugnières will make his first race with the team this weekend as the MXGP World Championship is back to action in the Czech Republic.
After his crash a few weeks ago while training on his road bicycle, Kevin Horgmo had gritted his teeth in Finland to score precious points a few days after twisting his thumb. Further exams carried out upon returning from Finland revealed serious damage to the ligament in his thumb, requiring immediate surgery.
With both riders unavailable until the end of the season, Josse and Yves Demaria looked to all possible solutions to ensure that the bikes will not stay in the workshop.
After a season and a half in the 250 class Quentin, who celebrated his twentieth birthday last May, will therefore line up in MXGP this weekend in Loket.
